Literacy/English

English is central to the learning and development of all our EPS students. It helps create confident communicators, imaginative thinkers and informed citizens. It is through the study of English that individuals learn to analyse, understand, communicate and build relationships with others and with the world around them.

English at EPS is investigative, purposeful and explicit, with an emphasis on fostering and nurturing a love of all Literacy. The teaching of English reflects the intent of AUSVels (The Australian Curriculum in Victoria) and is inclusive of our students’ needs, backgrounds, perspectives and interests.

English is personalised through encompassing various and agreed teaching strategies and skills across all Year levels in the dimensions of Reading and Viewing, Writing and Speaking and Listening.
